Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9826935A1] An ink jet printer is constituted with a rotary drum (10) for rotating at a constant velocity, a paper loader for loading paper on the rotary drum (10), a paper hold system (20) for holding the paper loaded by the paper loader on the rotary drum (10), and a print head section (200) for printing a picture by jetting an ink onto the paper which is held on the rotary drum (10) by the paper hold system (20) and rotates along with the rotary drum (10). The ink jet printer is characterized in that the paper loader has a pair of feed rollers (91, 92) for narrowly holding and feeding the paper, and a separating mechanism (28) for separating one feed roller (91) of the pair from the other feed roller (92) so as to release the paper after the distal end of the paper is held on the rotary drum (10).
